The American Heart Association recommends no more than 2,300 milligrams (mgs) a day and an ideal limit of no more than 1,500 mg per day for most adults. Because the average Americanâs sodium intake is so excessive, even cutting back to no more than 2,400 milligrams a day will significantly improve blood pressure and heart health.
The Institute of Medicine has established adequate intake levels for sodium that address the typical needs of a healthy population. The recommended adequate intake of sodium for adults up to age 50 is 1,500 milligrams daily. Adequate daily intake for older Americans is 1,300 milligrams from age 50 through 70 and 1,200 milligrams after age 70.
